Come On Christmas

Dwight Yoakam Come On Christmas Lyrics
1.Come On Christmas

(dwight yoakam)

Come on christmas
Please take me away
Keep me hidden safe
'til january's second day
Come on christmas
Come on noel

I'll wrap myself
Up in the cheer
That's so abundant
This time of year
Come on christmas
Come on noel

Even though it's just september
I can forget to remember
All the empty nights
Still in my way

Come on christmas
Embrace me with some joy
'til the last few lonely moments
Of this year have been destroyed
Come on christmas
Come on noel

I'll just let visions of the season
Blind these worn-out sights
Still in my mind
Come on christmas
Come on noel
Come on christmas


2.Run, Run, Rudolph

(john d. marks, marvin brodie)

Hey, listen to me rudolph, you know you're the mastermind
Run, run rudolph, randolph ain't so far behind

Chorus:
Run, run rudolph, santa's gotta make it to town
Yeah, you gotta make him hurry, tell him he can take the freeway
down
Ah, run, run rudolph, reeling like a merry-go-round

Santa asked a boy child, 'whaddya longin' for?'
He said, 'all i want for christmas is a rock and roll electric
guitar'
Then away went rudolph, whizzing like a shootin' star

Chorus:
Run, run rudolph, santa's gotta make it to town
Son, you gotta make him hurry, tell him he can take the freeway
down
Ah, run, run rudolph, reeling like a merry-go-round

Well santa asked a girl child, 'honey, what you wanna get?'
She said 'a little baby doll that'll cry sweet, drink and wet'
Then away went rudolph, whizzing like a saber jet

Chorus:
Ah, run, run rudolph, santa's gotta make it to town
Son you gotta make him hurry, tell him he can take the freeway
down
Go on, run, run rudolph, reeling like a merry-go-round

Well run, run rudolph, santa's gotta make it to town
Son you gotta make him hurry, tell him he can take the freeway
down
Go on, run, run rudolph, reeling like a merry-go-round, round

Well run, run rudolph, santa's gotta make it this way
Gotta make him hurry, gotta make him take the freeway
Go on, run, run rudolph, santa's gotta make it to town


3.Silver Bells(Featuring Beth Anderson)

(raymond b. evans, jay livingston)

City sidewalks
Busy sidewalks
Dressed in holiday style
In the air there's a feeling of christmas

Children laughing
People passing
Meeting smile after smile
And on every street corner you'll hear

Chorus:
Silver bells, silver bells
Silver bells, silver bells
It's christmas time in the city
Hear them ring, hear them ring
Ring a ling, ring a ling
Soon it will be christmas day

Chorus:
Silver bells, silver bells
Silver bells, silver bells
It's christmas time in the city
Hear them ring, hear them ring
Ring a ling, ring a ling
Soon it will be christmas day
Soon it will be christmas day


4.I'll Be Home For Christmas

(buck ram, kim gannon, walter kent)

I'll be home for christmas
Just you wait and see
There'll be snow and mistletoe
And presents 'neath the tree

Christmas eve will find me
Where the love light gleams
I'll be home for christmas
If only in my dreams

There'll be snow and mistletoe
And presents 'neath the tree

Christmas eve will find me
Where the love light gleams
I'll be home for christmas
If only in my dreams
If only in my dreams


5.Silent Night

(traditional - public domain)

Silent night, holy night
All is calm, all is bright
Round yon virgin mother and child
Holy infant so tender and mild
Sleep in heavenly peace
Sleep in heavenly peace

Silent night, holy night
Shepherds quake, at the sight
Glories stream from heaven afar
Heavenly hosts sign alleluia
Christ, the savior is born
Christ, the savior is born

Silent night, holy night
Son of god, love's pure light
Radiant beams from thy holy face
With the dawn of redeeming grace
Jesus, lord at thy birth
Jesus, lord at thy birth

Silent night, holy night
All is calm


6.Santa Claus Is Back In Town

(jerry lieber, mike stoller)

Christmas
Christmas
Christmas

Well it's christmas time pretty baby
And the snow is on the ground
It's christmas time pretty baby
And the snow is on the ground
I said you better be good now baby
'cause santa claus is back in town

I don't got no sleigh with reindeer
Got no toys on the back
You gonna see me comin' in a trapped up cadillac
It's christmas time pretty baby
And the snow is on the ground
I said you better be good now baby
'cause santa claus is back in town

Christmas
Christmas
Christmas

Ho, ho, ho, honey

Oh hang up your pretty stockings
Girl turn out the light
Santa claus is coming down
Your chimney tonight

Yeah, it's christmas time pretty baby
And the snow is on the ground
I said you better be good now baby
'cause ol' st. nick is back in town

Oh, merry christmas, baby

Christmas
Christmas
Christmas

Happy, happy new year, too


7.The Christmas Song

(mel torme, robert wells)

Chestnuts roasting on an open fire
Jack frost nippin' at your nose
Yuletide carols being sung by a choir
And folks dressed up like eskimos

Everybody knows a turkey and some mistletoe
Help to make the season bright
Tiny tots with their eyes all aglow
Will find it hard to sleep tonight

They know that santa's on his way
He's loaded lots of toys and goodies on his sleigh
And every mother's child is gonna spy
To see if reindeer really know how to fly

And so i'm offering this simple phrase
To kids from one through ninety-two,
Although it's been said many times many ways
Merry christmas to you


8.Away In A Manger

(public domain)

Away in a manger no crib for his bed
The little lord jesus lay down his wee head
The stars in the sky looked down where he lay
The little lord jesus asleep on the hay

The cattle are lowing the poor baby wakes
The little lord jesus, no crying he makes
...

9.Here Comes Santa Claus

(gene autry, oakley haldman)

Here comes santa claus
Here comes santa claus
Right down santa claus lane
Vixen and blitzen and all his reindeer
Pulling on the rein
Bells are ringing and children singing
All is merry and bright
So hang your stockings and say your prayers
'cause santa claus comes tonight


10.Santa Can't Stay

(dwight yoakam)

Cold tears fall from his eyes
As he turns into the night and walks away
Lucille runs outside
Just to see if there might be a sleigh
Little bobby stares down
At the plate where cookies still lay
And tries to understand
Why momma said santa can't stay

Chorus:
Momma said santa can't stay
Said she told him that twice yesterday
Then a car just like dad's
Pulled out and drove away
After momma said santa couldn't stay

They both heard him coming
Saw mom run down the hall and holler wait
Doug you're drunk don't come inside
I'm not joking i've had all this i can take
He threw a present really hard
That almost hit mom's new boyfriend ray
And yelled ho-ho lucky for you she's here
And said that santa can't stay

Chorus:
Momma said santa can't stay
Said she told him that twice yesterday
Then a car just like dad's
Pulled out and drove away
After momma said santa couldn't stay
